A day at the races

Looking for a venue to host a hen's party, birthday bash or just a fantastic girls’ day out? We think a day at the races is the answer. There's nothing like frocking up, sipping a glass of your favourite tipple and taking in the action - both on and off the field! Send out one of our racy invites created especially for you.

If going to the track isn't your thing, isn't practical or affordable for you at the moment, why not host a racing event at home? A champagne breakfast, brunch or afternoon with your favourite friends could be just the order of the day. Suggest that everyone brings a plate of their favourite treat and their drink of choice, then you supply the venue and the form guide. Get into the spirit and do a $1 sweep for a little extra fun!

When it comes to fabulous frocks and looking your best for that special event, Karah Tarran-Wilson from Rose and Ruby knows her stuff.

Here are her tips for race day outfits:

Shorter style dresses can be teamed with a lovely pair of stockings to take them through the colder months on the track.

A gorgeous coat is essential for winter racing - always be sure it is longer than your dress.
